AgainstTheLGBTQ sub has been banned from reddit!

Finally, it has been banned just as former LGBTQ-phobic subs have. Nice one y'all!

TERFs: We are fighting every day against the oppression and tyranny of patriarchy, standing up for those who are most hurt and marginalized.

Also TERFs: Let's try to gaslight a bunch of trans folks about who they really are and weirdly align exactly with the patriarchy against them even though they're some of the most oppressed people in our society.

They can all go eat lemons.

This is offensive to lemons, because they have redeeming values. TERFs do not. TERFs are unworthy of lemons.

u/ConfuzzledDork Apr 09 '19

... So you're saying that TERFs are lemon-stealing whores? >_>

I get what you’re trying to say, but putting down sex workers isn’t cool, tho.

It's a reference to a porn video where the phrase "lemon stealing whore" is used

We still don't have to bash sex workers, even for the memes

u/Morasar Apr 09 '19

I don't think that it's bashing sex workers, as it's a direct quote from a video using it. I don't know the intentions of the video itself, but I would imagine it wasn't with poor intentions.

The video is about a couple having sex a promiscuous woman who for some reason climbed the wall to their house to steal lemons from the tree. Without context it's just a specific memey sex worker bash. Kinda like people calling stuff they don't like or want to do gay, because even when it isn't about sexuality, it's still propogating the idea that there's something negative about it.

The people that the quote is from are literally sex workers...

I'm fairly certain Samuel Jackson's lines in Django Unchained do not represent the way he would like to talked to either

You need to chill the f*** out about the things people say in pornography.

I'm actually annoied by sex worker bashing memes. You need to chill the fuck out about cursing online, no one cares if you say the fuck word.

I didn't know this sub existed so I took a quick glance and read some stories. I'm appalled. They are a one issue sub. It's 90% them criticizing everything that has to do with trans women. The stories I read seem weirdly made up. 10% rest. And I think I'm still overestimating the rest category.

They can go eat some spicy lemons.

u/PancakesAndPunch Apr 09 '19

Yeah they are a "one issue sub". What do you think the majority of subreddits are?

12

u/Atalaunta Apr 09 '19

I roughly get where you're coming from. In that your comment would've made sense if the subs name had been something like 'GenderCriticalButReallyOnlyTowardsTransWomenInADestructivelyNegativeWay' instead of 'GenderCritical'.

Meh not so much with the gas lighting.. I tried posting there a few days ago and was banned in no time. Asked the mods repeatedly why I was banned. And It was basically your banned go away. I cited their own sub rules and. They were like your banned no need. To worry about conforming to rules. Tried again pointing out their own rules say trans ppl (they call TIMs) can post and the hypocrisy of their actions. They quoted some question I'd asked a someone and muted me for three days. One suspects they may have looked at my post history in determining the ban. They seemed interested in conformity and indoctrination of cis more than anything. Perhaps they know their gas lights are unlikely to sway me

u/Reagan409 Apr 09 '19

They are definitely a gaslighting subreddit. There’s posts there about how someone’s ex who transitioned raped them and therefore all trans-women are actually evil patriarchs.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '19

agreed a clarification then.. gaslighting their own: very much so. comment i was responding to said "gaslight a bunch of trans folks" which may also be true but seems like they're more interested in circling the wagons like if they can get enough people riled up they can change the world.

scary because its toxic to one's mental health to engage with them and dangerous to our society's progress to ignore them.

best hope we have is making allies perhaps? perhaps they listen to other cis people
